I‘ve known for years that I should read this classic but the description of it as “romantic suspense” left me feeling lukewarm about picking it up. But I needed a paperback for our trip, so I packed this one and figured that would finally force me to read it. I‘m glad I did. I wouldn‘t classify it as “romance” at all—just delightfully creepy Gothic suspense. Check this one off the list. ✔️

Scochrane26 I was surprised that I loved Rebecca so much. Think I went into it without knowing anything about it. I read Jamaica Inn earlier this year & also loved it. A really good Gothic story 6d
Amiable @Scochrane26 I‘m honestly surprised that I got to this point in my life and had no idea what happened in the book. After nearly 90 years, it‘s difficult to keep spoilers a secret! 😀 But I really did go into it blind. 6d
sarahbarnes I‘ve felt the same way about this one. Maybe I‘ll give it a try. 6d

Amiable @sarahbarnes It starts a bit slow but then speeds up as you get further into it, FYI. 6d
Ruthiella Agree. There is little romance here. For me, this is a book, like Wuthering Heights or Jane Eyre, that hits differently when one is a bit older and more experienced. 6d
CoverToCoverGirl This is still on my list but I just knocked off Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn off the list.. progress. 5d
Amiable @CoverToCoverGirl Making steady progress—same! 👍🏼 I‘ve knocked off “Rebecca” and “Anna Karenina” so far this year, so I‘m pleased. 5d

This is my first book by this author and I wasn‘t sure what to expect, but the creepiness was off the charts. It was a slow burn at the beginning but then it took a really dark turn!

Goodreads has those little side challenges, and this was one of the qualifying books. This is not my preferred genre, so when I tell you this was a fun little smutty read, I mean it. I liked their banter, the premise was fun, it doesn‘t take itself too seriously. The Devil‘s Manor pops up in cities for centuries. Can you survive the week and earn your Devil‘s Boon? But is there more to Phantasma? Follow Ophelia to find out.
